cabs(3)                  Library Functions Manual                 cabs(3)
       cabs, cabsf, cabsl - absolute value of a complex number
       Math library (libm, -lm)
       #include <complex.h>
       double cabs(double complex z);
       float cabsf(float complex z);
       long double cabsl(long double complex z);
       These functions return the absolute value of the complex number z.
       The result is a real number.
       For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
       attributes(7).

       The function is actually an alias for hypot(a, b) (or,
       equivalently, sqrt(a*a + b*b)).
